Summary
[edit]the photographs shows male, normal female and a rare philomela form of female. the common form of female mimics glassy tiger to avoid predation. the philomela form is rare and identified by yellow coloration at the base of the wings. this form is reported more in north east India. according to wynter blyth this form mimics a Danais aspasia, which is not found west of burma. he rejects the assumption that the wagtail carries the eggs of D. aspasia to India. it seems that in bygone era the D. aspasia might have fled to India along with common wanderer or the species might have eliminated from India.
